Approach
The Real Impact of Social Media workshop is intended to bring awareness to students, caregivers, and school personnel on how to use social media platforms safely and responsibly. The workshop has been created with age-appropriate language for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students.
We deliver in-class workshops to help them understand the ways social media can help cope with stress, how it can add stress and the overall risks of using social media irresponsibly. The Real Impact of Social Media also addresses the impacts of cyberbullying and the proper steps to take when a student is being cyberbullied or witnesses cyberbullying.
